Until the Closing Net Working Capital amount becomes final and binding, Buyer shall provide Sellers and their Representatives access to the books and records and employees of the Acquired Companies to the extent necessary or desirable for the preparation of the Closing Balance Sheet or the resolution of any dispute with respect thereto and shall cause the employees of the Acquired Companies to cooperate with Sellers and their Representatives in connection with the preparation by Sellers or their Representatives of the Closing Balance Sheet or the resolution of any dispute with respect thereto, provided that such access shall be provided during normal business hours upon reasonable prior notice by Sellers or their Representatives to Buyer and such access shall be arranged and provided in such manner as not to interfere unreasonably with the conduct of the ongoing business of the Acquired Companies.  The Closing Balance Sheet shall be prepared on a consolidated basis for the Acquired Companies in accordance with GAAP  applied in a manner consistent with the accounting practices, policies, judgments and methodologies used in the preparation of the Current Balance Sheet and as further described on Schedule 2.6.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the Disclosure Schedule, the

19

Closing Balance Sheet shall be prepared, and the Closing Net Working Capital shall be calculated, in accordance with, and to the extent set forth in, the Addendum to Schedule 2.6.

(c)                                  The Closing Balance Sheet and calculation of the Closing Net Working Capital (as set forth in the Closing Net Working Capital Statement) shall become final and binding upon the Parties on the earlier of (i) the date Buyer notifies Sellers in writing of its acceptance of the Closing Balance Sheet and calculation of the Closing Net Working Capital (as set forth in the Closing Net Working Capital Statement) or (ii) the forty-fifth (45th) calendar day following Buyer’s receipt of the Closing Balance Sheet and Closing Net Working Capital Statement, unless Buyer notifies Sellers in writing prior to such date of its disagreement with any aspect of the Closing Balance Sheet or the calculation of the Closing Net Working Capital (as set forth in the Closing Net Working Capital Statement) (a “Notice of Disagreement”).  The Notice of Disagreement shall specify in reasonable detail the nature of any such disagreement, including Buyer’s own determination of the Closing Balance Sheet and calculation of Closing Net Working Capital.  If a Notice of Disagreement is received by Sellers within forty-five (45) days after Buyer’s receipt of the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Net Working Capital Statement, then (x) the Closing Net Working Capital amount (as described in clause (y) below) shall become final and binding only upon the earlier of (A) the date that Sellers and Buyer resolve in writing any differences that they have with respect to the matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement, or (B) the date any disputed matters specified in the Notice of Disagreement (to the extent not previously resolved by Sellers and Buyer in writing) are finally resolved through accounting arbitration in accordance with Section 2.6(d), and (y) the final and binding Closing Net Working Capital amount shall be deemed to be the amount agreed to by Sellers and Buyer in writing, or as resolved through accounting arbitration in accordance with Section 2.6(d), as the case may be; provided  that in no event shall the final and binding Closing Net Working Capital amount be more favorable to Sellers than the amount of Closing Net Working Capital reflected in the Closing Net Working Capital Statement prepared by Sellers nor more favorable to Buyer than the amount of Closing Net Working Capital reflected in the Notice of Disagreement delivered by Buyer.

(d)                                 If a Notice of Disagreement shall be duly and timely delivered pursuant to Section 2.6(c), Sellers and Buyer shall, during the thirty (30) days following such delivery, negotiate in good faith the resolution of the disagreements specified in the Notice of Disagreement.  If, at the conclusion of such 30-day period, Sellers and Buyer have not resolved any such disagreements, then all amounts and issues specified in the Notice of Disagreement remaining in dispute shall be submitted by Sellers and Buyer for definitive resolution to an independent accounting firm of recognized national standing mutually selected by Sellers and Buyer (in either case, the “Independent Firm”), provided that if Sellers and Buyer are unable to agree on such other accounting firm within five (5) Business Days, Sellers and Buyer shall select an independent accounting firm of recognized national standing to serve as the Independent Firm by lot, based on the list of firms set forth on Schedule 2.6(d). The Independent Firm shall be engaged by Sellers and Buyer no later than ten (10) Business Days following the later to occur of (i) the conclusion of such 30-day period and (ii) the determination of the identity of the Independent Firm in accordance with this Section 2.6(d).  Each of Sellers and Buyer agrees to promptly execute, if requested by the Independent Firm, a reasonable engagement letter with respect to the determination to be made by the Independent Firm with respect to such dispute in accordance with this Section 2.6(d).  The Independent Firm shall determine only those issues

20

specified in the Notice of Disagreement duly and timed delivered pursuant to Section 2.6(c) and still in dispute at the end of the 30-day period following the delivery thereof, and the Independent Firm’s determination shall be based upon and consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and with the undisputed portions of the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Net Working Capital Statement.  The determination by the Independent Firm shall be based on presentations with respect to such disputed items by Sellers and Buyer to the Independent Firm and not on the Independent Firm’s independent review.  Sellers and Buyer will provide copies to one another of all written submissions to the Independent Firm and shall be permitted to attend (and shall receive reasonable advance written notice of) any meeting with or presentations to the Independent Firm.  Sellers, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, shall use their Best Efforts to make their respective presentations as promptly as practicable following submission to the Independent Firm of the disputed items (but in no event later than fifteen days after engagement of the Independent Firm), and each of Sellers, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, shall be entitled, as part of its presentation, to respond to the presentation of the other presenter and any questions and requests of the Independent Firm.  Sellers’ presentations to the Independent Firm shall be consistent with Sellers’ earlier positions set forth in the Closing Balance Sheet and Net Working Capital Statement, and Buyer’s presentations to the Independent Firm shall be consistent with Buyer’s earlier positions set forth in the Notice of Disagreement.  In deciding any matter, the Independent Firm (i) shall be bound by the provisions of this Section 2.6 and (ii) may not assign a value to any item (x) greater than the greatest value for such item claimed (1) by Sellers in the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Net Working Capital Statement (or in Sellers’ presentations to the Independent Firm) or (2) by Buyer in the Notice of Disagreement (or in Buyer’s presentations to the Independent Firm) or (y) less than the smallest value for such item claimed (1) by Sellers in the Closing Balance Sheet and the Closing Net Working Capital Statement (or Sellers’ presentations to the Independent Firm) or (2) by Buyer in the Notice of Disagreement (or in Buyer’s presentations to the Independent Firm).  The Independent Firm’s determination shall be made within 45 days after its engagement, or as soon thereafter as possible, shall be set forth in a written statement delivered to Sellers and Buyer and shall be final, conclusive, non-appealable and binding for all purposes hereunder, absent manifest error by the Independent Firm.  The determination of the Independent Firm shall not be deemed an award subject to review under the Federal Arbitration Act or any other similar statute.  All fees and expenses of the Independent Firm pursuant to its engagement by Sellers and Buyer to make its determination with respect to such dispute shall be borne (i) by Sellers if the difference between the Closing Net Working Capital (as determined by the Independent Firm) and Sellers’ calculation of the Closing Net Working Capital set forth in the Closing Net Working Capital Statement is greater than the difference between the Closing Net Working Capital (as determined by the Independent Firm) and Buyer’s calculation of the Closing Net Working Capital set forth in the Notice of Disagreement, (ii) by Buyer if the first such difference is less than the second such difference, and (iii) otherwise equally by Sellers, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand.

(e)                                  Until the Closing Net Working Capital amount becomes final and binding, each Party shall make available to the other Party its (and shall use its Best Efforts to cause its Representatives’) work papers, schedules and other supporting data (to the extent within the possession or control of such Party) as may reasonably be requested by such Party to enable such Party to verify the calculations of Closing Net Working Capital as set forth in the Closing Balance Sheet or the Notice of Disagreement, as the case may be, subject to the execution by the

21

other Party of (i) customary confidentiality agreements and indemnity agreements and (ii) to the extent any work papers, schedules or other supporting data of any independent accountants are so requested, indemnity agreements in favor of such accountants as may be required by such accountants in their sole discretion.

(f)                                    Within ten (10) Business Days after the Closing Net Working Capital amount becomes final and binding, (i) if a Net Working Capital Shortfall exists, the amount of the Net Working Capital Shortfall, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the rate of interest most recently published by the Wall Street Journal as the “prime rate” at large U.S. money center banks (the “Prime Rate”) on the Closing Date (calculated on the basis of the number of days elapsed from the Closing Date to the date of payment), shall be paid to Buyer by Sellers, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to one or more accounts designated by Buyer, by written notice to Sellers, no later than ten (10) Business Days following Sellers’ receipt of such written notice from Buyer or (ii) if a Net Working Capital Excess exists, Buyer shall pay, or cause the Acquired Companies to pay, the Net Working Capital Excess, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate on the Closing Date (calculated on the basis of the number of days elapsed from the Closing Date to the date of payment), to Sellers by wire transfer of immediately available funds to one or more accounts designated by Sellers, by written notice to Buyer, no later than ten (10) Business Days following Buyer’s receipt of such written notice from Sellers.

(g)                                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, in addition to the payment of the Closing Purchase Price referred to in Section 2.2 and the adjustments to the Purchase Price referred to in Section 2.6 above, Buyer hereby agrees that on or immediately after the Closing, Buyer shall pay, or cause the Acquired Companies to pay, to Sellers the amount of any cash and cash equivalents held by the Acquired Companies as of the Closing Date by means of a wire transfer of immediately available to one or more accounts designated by Sellers, by written notice to Buyer, which notice shall be delivered at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date.

(h)                                 Buyer’s and Sellers’ rights to indemnification pursuant to Article IX hereof (and any limitations on such rights) shall not be deemed to limit, supersede or otherwise affect Buyer’s or Sellers’ rights to a full Purchase Price adjustment pursuant to this Section 2.6; provided, however, that to the extent a Party receives a Purchase Price adjustment pursuant to this Section 2.6, such Party shall not be entitled to indemnification with respect to the matter that resulted in such adjustment.

Section 2.7                                      Escrow Arrangements.

(a)                                  The Escrow Funds shall be held, invested and distributed in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement and in accordance with this Article II and Article IX hereof.

(b)                                 On the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Closing Date, or if such date is not a Business Day, the first Business Day thereafter (such Business Day, the “First Scheduled Release Date”), Sellers and Buyer shall cause the Escrow Agent (including by delivering joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent) to release, or disburse, in accordance

22

with Section 2.7(d), from the Escrow Funds, an amount (not less than zero) equal to (I) the amount of the Escrow Funds as of the First Scheduled Release Date in excess of the sum of (A) $17,750,000, plus (B) one-half of the Net Escrow Income as of the Scheduled Release Date, minus (II) the sum (without duplication) of all Unsatisfied Escrow Claims as of the First Scheduled Release Date (such aggregate amount, the “First Delayed Release Amount”). If, after the First Scheduled Release Date, all or any portion of the First Delayed Release Amount is Finally Determined not to be owed to the Buyer Indemnitees on behalf of which, or for whose account, the related Unsatisfied Escrow Claims have been made pursuant to this Agreement, Sellers and Buyer shall, within five (5) Business Days after such Final Determination, cause the Escrow Agent (including by delivering joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent) to release to, or disburse, in accordance with Section 2.7(d), from the Escrow Funds, such amount, but only to the extent not in excess of (I) the sum of the amount of the Escrow Funds determined as of the date of such release or disbursement in excess of the sum of (A) $17,750,000 plus (B) one-half of the Net Escrow Income as of the date of such release or disbursement, minus (II) the sum (without duplication) of all Unsatisfied Escrow Claims as of the date of such release or disbursement.

(c)                                  On the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Closing Date, or if such date is not a Business Day, the first Business Day thereafter (such Business Day, the “Second Scheduled Release Date”), Sellers and Buyer shall cause the Escrow Agent (including by delivering joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent) to release, or disburse, in accordance with Section 2.7(d), from the Escrow Funds, an amount (not less than zero) equal to (I) the amount of the Escrow Funds as of the Second Scheduled Release Date, minus (II) the sum (without duplication) of all Unsatisfied Escrow Claims as of the Second Scheduled Release Date (such aggregate amount, the “Second Delayed Release Amount”). If, after the Second Scheduled Release Date, all or any portion of the Second Delayed Release Amount is Finally Determined not to be owed to the Buyer Indemnitees on behalf of which, or for whose account, the related Unsatisfied Escrow Claims have been made pursuant to this Agreement, Sellers and Buyer shall, within five (5) Business Days after such Final Determination, cause the Escrow Agent (including by delivering joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent) to release to, or disburse, in accordance with Section 2.7(d), from the Escrow Funds, such amount, but only to the extent that the Escrow Funds, determined as of the date of such release or disbursement (immediately after giving effect to such release or disbursement), will be at least equal to the sum (without duplication) of all Unsatisfied Escrow Claims as of the date of such release or disbursement (immediately after giving effect to such release or disbursement).

(d)                                 Subject to Article IX hereof, any amounts distributed in accordance with Section 2.7(b) or 2.7(c) shall be paid by the Escrow Agent from the Escrow Funds in the Escrow Account pursuant to the written payment instructions of Sellers delivered to the Escrow Agent in accordance with the Escrow Agreement.

23

no later than two Business Days following the last to occur of (x) the making of such distribution by GLS and (y) Buyer’s receipt of Sellers’ written designation of such accounts.

(b)                                 From and after the Closing, Buyer shall (i) keep Sellers informed, in reasonable detail, on a current basis, of any discussions between the Buyer and its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies) (and their respective Representatives), on the one hand, and DI, GLS, and their respective Affiliates (and their respective Representatives), on the other hand, regarding the calculation of the GLS Distributable Amount, and (ii) immediately following the determination of each GLS Distributable Amount (if any), deliver to Sellers a written notice specifying (A) the GLS Distributable Amount (as so finally determined), (B) the date on which the distribution of such GLS Distributable Amount is to be made by GLS, and (C) the Pre-Closing McNeil Portion of such GLS Distributable Amount, accompanied by reasonable supporting documentation for the calculation of such GLS Distributable Amount and such Pre-Closing McNeil Portion thereof (including any accruals for award fees to GLS under the GLS Customer Contract included therein).

(c)                                  Buyer covenants and agrees that it shall not, and shall cause the Acquired Companies (and its and their respective Representatives) to not, take any affirmative action, or fail to take any reasonable action within its or their control, the results of which would reasonably be expected to interfere in any material respect in maximizing the aggregate amount of the payments to be made to Sellers pursuant to Section 2.8(a) above, including, but not limited to, amending or supplementing the GLS Operating Agreement so as to alter the calculation, distribution or sharing of any GLS Distributable Amount, failing to diligently pursue the calculation and distribution of any GLS Distributable Amount, or failing to calculate any GLS Distributable Amount in accordance with pre-Closing past practice of the Acquired Companies (to the extent such practice is consistent with the applicable requirements of the GLS Operating Agreement).

Section 2.10                                Retention Bonuses.  Buyer shall cause MTI to pay, following the Closing, all Retention Bonuses in accordance with the applicable terms and conditions of the Retention Agreements.  In the event that, after the Closing, any Retention Participant forfeits his or her right to receive a Retention Bonus (or any portion thereof) under the terms of the Retention Agreement to which he or she is a party, (i) Buyer shall, within five (5) Business Days of such

24

forfeiture, notify Sellers thereof in writing, specifying in such notice the applicable Retention Participant and the amount so forfeited, and (ii) Buyer shall pay, or cause MTI to pay, such forfeited amount to Sellers by wire transfer of immediately available funds to one or more accounts designated by Sellers, no later than five (5) Business Days following Buyer’s receipt of Sellers’ wire transfer instructions.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF BUYER

Buyer represents and warrants to Sellers that all of the statements contained in this Article IV are true as of the date hereof:

Section 4.1            Organization.  Each of Parent and Buyer is a Delaware corporation validly existing and in good standing under the laws of Delaware and has all requisite corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business as is now being conducted.  Each of Parent and Buyer is duly qualified or licensed and in good standing to do business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction where such qualification is necessary, except for those jurisdictions where failure to be so qualified would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on such Party.

Section 4.2            Authorization; Validity of Agreement.  Each of Parent and Buyer has the requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver the Transaction Documents to which it is specified to be a party and to consummate the Contemplated Transactions.  The execution, delivery and performance by each of Parent and Buyer of the Transaction Documents to which it is specified to be a party, and the consummation by each of Parent and Buyer of the Contemplated Transactions, have been duly authorized by such Party, and no other corporate proceedings on the part of Parent or Buyer are necessary to authorize the execution and delivery by such Party of any Transaction Document to which it is specified to be a party or the consummation by such Party of the Contemplated Transactions.  This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Parent and Buyer.  Assuming the due and valid authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement by Sellers, this Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of each of Parent and Buyer, enforceable against such Party in accordance with its terms, except that (i) such enforcement may be subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar Laws, now or hereafter in effect, affecting creditors’ rights generally and (ii) the remedy of specific performance and injunctive and other forms of equitable relief may be subject to equitable defenses and to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought.  Assuming the due and valid authorization, execution and delivery thereof by each other party thereto, each other Transaction Document to which Parent or Buyer is specified to be a party (when executed and delivered by such Party) shall constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Party, enforceable against such Party in accordance with its terms, except that (i) such enforcement may be subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar Laws, now or hereafter in effect, affecting creditors’ rights generally and (ii) the remedy of specific performance and injunctive and other forms of equitable relief may be subject to equitable defenses and to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought.

Section 4.3            Consents and Approvals; No Violations.  Neither the execution, delivery or performance by Parent or Buyer of any Transaction Document to which it is specified to be a party, nor the consummation by Parent or Buyer of the Contemplated Transactions, will (i) violate any provision of any Organizational Documents of Parent or Buyer; (ii) except with respect to consents required under the Contracts set forth on Schedule 4.3, result in a breach of,

39

or constitute (with or without due notice or lapse of time or both) a default or give rise to any right of termination, cancellation or acceleration under, any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any material note, bond, mortgage, indenture, lease, license, contract, agreement or other instrument or obligation to which Parent or Buyer is a party or by which Parent or Buyer or any of their respective properties or assets may be bound; it being understood that “material” for purposes of this Section 4.3 means, with respect to Parent or Buyer, any agreement or instrument, filed, or required to be filed, by Parent, Buyer or any of their respective Subsidiaries with, or disclosed, or required to be disclosed, by Parent, Buyer or any of their respective Subsidiaries in a filing with, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission; (iii) violate any material Orders or Laws applicable to Parent or Buyer or any of their respective material properties or assets; it being understood that a “material Order” applicable to Parent or Buyer means an Order filed, or required to be filed, by Parent, Buyer or any of their respective Subsidiaries with, or disclosed, or required to be disclosed, by Parent, Buyer or any of their respective Subsidiaries in a filing with, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission; or (iv) except as set forth on Schedule 4.3 and except for filings pursuant to the HSR Act, require on the part of Parent or Buyer any filing or registration with, notification to, or authorization, consent or approval of, any Governmental Authority, except, in the cases of clause (iv) above, as would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on Parent or Buyer.  Parent and Buyer acknowledge that if Buyer requests a U.S. Government Customer to recognize Buyer as a successor in interest under a Government Contract, additional notifications and U.S. Government consents not set forth on Schedule 4.3 or herein may be necessary.

Section 4.4            Purchase for Investment, etc.

(a)           Buyer is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of that term as defined in Rule 501(a) promulgated under the Securities Act.

(b)           The Shares will be acquired for investment for Buyer’s own account and not with a view to the distribution of any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act.  Buyer does not have any contract, undertaking or agreement with any Person to sell, transfer, or grant participations with respect to any of the Shares.

(c)           Buyer’s financial condition is such that it is able to bear the risk of holding the Shares for an indefinite period of time and can bear the loss of its entire investment in its Shares.

(d)           Buyer (either alone or together with its advisors) has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial and business matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Shares and is capable of bearing the economic risks of such investment.  Buyer has conducted its own independent review and analysis of the Evaluation Material, the Acquired Companies, the Business and the assets, liabilities, results of operations and financial condition of the Acquired Companies, and acknowledges that Buyer has been provided reasonable access to certain personnel, premises and records of the Acquired Companies for such purpose and that Buyer and its Representatives have been provided with reasonable opportunities to ask questions of the officers and certain management employees of the Acquired Companies and Sellers and to acquire such certain additional information about the

40

Business and the financial condition of the Acquired Companies as Buyer and its Representatives have reasonably requested; provided, however, that this acknowledgement shall, in no way, abate or relieve Sellers of their obligations under Article III.

(e)           In entering into this Agreement, Parent and Buyer have relied solely upon their own investigation and analysis (provided that such reliance shall, in no way, abate or relieve Sellers of their obligations under Article III) and, notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that none of the Acquired Companies or Sellers, nor any of their respective Representatives, is making any representations or warranties whatsoever, express or implied, beyond those expressly given by Sellers in Article III (as modified by the Schedules hereto), and that any claims which Parent or Buyer may have for breach of a representation or warranty shall be based solely on the representations and warranties of Sellers expressly set forth in Article III (as modified by the Schedules hereto).

(f)            Buyer acknowledges that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or under any state or foreign securities laws.

Section 4.5            Proceedings; Orders.  There are no Proceedings before or by any Governmental Authority, or to Buyer’s knowledge, investigations by any Governmental Authority, pending or, to Buyer’s knowledge, threatened, against Parent or Buyer, nor are there any Orders naming Parent or Buyer, except as would not reasonably be expected to be, individually or in the aggregate, materially adverse to the ability of Parent or Buyer to consummate the Contemplated Transactions.

Section 4.6            Brokers or Finders.  There is no investment banker, broker, finder or other intermediary which has been retained by or is authorized to act on behalf of Parent or Buyer who might be entitled to any fee or commission in connection with the Contemplated Transactions.

Section 4.7            No Foreign Status, etc. None of Parent or Buyer or any intended transferee or assignee from Buyer of the Business, the Acquired Companies or any rights hereunder is a “foreign person” and no aspect of Parent’s or Buyer’s organization, structure, ownership, financing, operation or otherwise is capable of causing the Contemplated Transactions to be deemed a “covered transaction” as that term is defined in FINSA.  For purposes of the foregoing, a “foreign person” is any foreign national (i.e., an individual who is not a U.S. national), foreign government, or foreign Person, or any Person over which control is exercised or exercisable by a foreign national, foreign government, or any other foreign Person.  Buyer does not violate the foreign ownership prohibition under ATSA.

Section 4.8            Sufficiency of Funds.  Buyer will have, at the Closing, sufficient liquid funds (through cash on hand, credit arrangements or otherwise) (1) to pay all amounts to be paid under this Agreement, including payment of the Closing Purchase Price, (2) to make all other necessary payments of fees and expenses in connection with the Contemplated Transactions, and (3) to perform and discharge its obligations under the Transaction Documents and in connection with the Contemplated Transactions.  Buyer expressly acknowledges that its obligations hereunder are not subject to any conditions, express or implied, regarding Parent’s or Buyer’s ability to obtain financing for the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions.

41

Section 4.9            Solvency.  Immediately after giving effect to the Contemplated Transactions and any Indebtedness incurred by Parent, Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates in connection herewith, each of Parent, Buyer and their respective Subsidiaries, including each of the Acquired Companies, shall be solvent and shall (i) be able to pay its debts as they become due, (ii) own property that has a fair saleable value greater than the amounts required to pay their respective debts (including a reasonable estimate of the amount of all contingent liabilities), and (iii) have adequate capital to carry on its business. No transfer of property is being made and no obligation is being incurred in connection with the Contemplated Transactions with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud either present or future creditors of any of Parent, Buyer and their respective Subsidiaries, including each Acquired Company.  In connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, neither Parent nor Buyer has incurred, or plans to incur, debts beyond its ability to pay as they become absolute and matured.

Section 6.3            Directors’ and Officers’ Indemnification; Insurance.

(a)           Buyer agrees that all rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation now existing in favor of each individual who, as of the Closing Date, is a present or former director or officer of an Acquired Company (the “Covered Persons”) as provided in the Organizational Documents of the applicable Acquired Company, in effect as of the date hereof, shall, with respect to matters occurring prior to the Closing Date, survive the Closing and continue in full force and effect after the Closing Date. Until the sixth (6th) anniversary of the Closing Date, the Organizational Documents of the applicable Acquired Company shall, with respect to matters occurring prior to the Closing Date, contain provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification, advancement of expenses and exculpation of the Covered Persons than are set forth in the Organizational Documents of the applicable Acquired Company, in effect as of the date hereof, and such provisions shall not be amended, repealed or the rights thereunder of any Covered Person as of the Closing Date adversely affected, with respect to matters occurring prior to the Closing Date. Buyer further agrees that all rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses now existing in favor of Covered Persons in any indemnification agreement between such person and the applicable Acquired Company, or under applicable Law, shall survive the Closing and continue in full force and effect in accordance with the terms of such agreement or applicable Law.

(b)           The Sellers intend that the Company acquire a six (6) year Discovery Period, effective as of the Closing Date, pursuant to the applicable provisions of the existing Directors, Officers and Private Company Liability Insurance Policy Number 01-369-49-11 issued by National Union Fire Insurance Company of Pittsburgh, Pa.

(c)           In the event that Buyer, any Acquired Company or any of their respective successors or assigns after the Closing (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or a substantial portion of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of Buyer or the applicable Acquired Company (or their successors or assigns) assume the obligations of Buyer and/or the applicable Acquired Company (or their successors or assigns) as contemplated by this Section 6.3; provided that this subsection (c) shall not apply to any merger or consolidation between the Buyer and another wholly owned Subsidiary of Parent so long as

51

(c)           Cooperation of Tax Matters.  (i) Buyer, the Company and its Subsidiaries, and Sellers shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns pursuant to this section and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes.  Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other Party’s request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation, or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.

(d)           The Company and its Subsidiaries and Sellers agree (A) to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company and its Subsidiaries relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and the extent notified by Buyer or Sellers, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any taxing authority, and (B) to give the other Party reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such books and records and, if the other Party so requests, the Company and its Subsidiaries or Sellers, as the case may be, shall allow the other Party to take possession of such books and records; (ii) Buyer and Sellers further agree, upon request, to use their best efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Authority or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed (including, but not limited to, with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby); and (iii) Buyer and Sellers further agree, upon request, to provide the other party with all information that either party may be required to report pursuant to Code §6043 and all Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder.

(e)           Tax Sharing Agreements.  Except with respect to Tax sharing or similar agreements solely between or among the Company and its Subsidiaries, all Tax sharing agreements or similar agreements with respect to or involving the Company and its Subsidiaries shall be terminated as of the Closing Date, and, after the Closing Date, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not be bound thereby or have any liability thereunder.

(f)            Certain Taxes and Fees.  All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes, and all conveyance fees, recording charges and other fees and charges (including any penalties and interest) incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid by Sellers when due, and Sellers will, at their own expense, file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Taxes, fees and charges, and, if required by applicable law, Buyer will, and will cause its Affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation.  Any amounts required to be paid by Sellers pursuant to this Section 7.6(f) shall be from the Escrow Account.

54

eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Closing Date and (ii) in the case of each other representation and warranty of the Sellers, Parent or Buyer, until the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Closing Date.  The covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement that by their terms are to be performed after the Closing Date shall continue in full force and effect after the Closing until performed in accordance with their terms or, if earlier, the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Closing Date.  The covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement that by their terms are to be performed solely between the date hereof and the Closing shall not survive the Closing.  No action for a breach of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement shall be brought after the expiration of the survival of such representation or warranty, except for claims of which a Party has received written notification prior to such expiration setting forth in reasonable detail the nature of such claim (including a reasonable specification of the legal and factual basis for such claim).  This Section 9.1 shall not restrict or limit a Party’s right to commence any claim with respect to any covenant or agreement of the Parties contained in this Agreement which by its terms contemplates performance, in whole or in part, after the Closing.

Section 9.2            Indemnification by Sellers.

(a)           From and after the Closing Date, to the extent provided in this Article IX, Sellers shall indemnify Buyer, its Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents (collectively, “Buyer Indemnitees”) against and hold them harmless from any loss, liability, cost or expense (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) (collectively, “Losses”) suffered or incurred by such Buyer Indemnitees to the extent arising from (i) any breach of any representation or warranty of a Seller contained in this Agreement (other than a breach of Section 3.19, to the extent that such Losses arising from such breach constitute Pre-Closing Taxes), (ii) any breach of any covenant or undertaking of a Seller contained in this Agreement, (iii) all Pre-Closing Taxes,  except to the extent that a breach by Buyer of its obligations contained in Section 7.6(b) results in Losses but only to the extent that such breach increases such Losses, or (iv) any failure by GLS to withhold payroll taxes for its Iraqi national employees (to the extent required under applicable Law) from June 27, 2004 to the Closing Date (it being understood that any Losses suffered or incurred by the Buyer Indemnitees pursuant to this clause (iv) shall be limited to 49% of any Losses suffered or incurred by GLS). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Buyer Indemnitees shall not be entitled to indemnification for (A) those portions of any Losses that represent lost profits, diminution in value, restitution, mental or emotional distress, exemplary, consequential, incidental, special or punitive damages except to the extent that any of the same are paid by a Buyer Indemnitee to a third party in connection with a claim asserted by such third party; or (B) those portions of any Losses (i)  paid for by any Acquired Company in the Financial Statements prior to the Closing Date or otherwise paid or provided for (directly, and not through any Acquired Company) by a Seller or any of its Affiliates, (ii) that are reimbursed from insurance proceeds actually received and retained, or (iii) that have arisen as a result of any act or omission by Buyer or any of its Affiliates on or after the Closing Date (including, without limitation, Losses resulting from any change in accounting principles, practices or methodologies and Losses arising from any breach of its obligations under this Agreement.  Solely for purposes of this Article IX, any determination of whether a breach of any representation or warranty of a Seller contained in Section 3.17 or 3.18 of this Agreement has occurred shall be made disregarding the disclosure of the Specified Lawsuits on the Disclosure Schedule.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement,

55

(i) the Buyer shall assume and control the defense of each Specified Lawsuit (whereupon the provisions set forth in Section 9.6(b) which govern a Third Party Proceeding if the Indemnifying Party has not assumed and controlled the defense of such Third Party Proceeding in accordance with Section 9.6(b) shall apply to such Specified Lawsuit (including the provisions therein governing settlement of a Third Party Proceeding)), unless it would be reasonably expected that at least 50% of the reasonably estimated Losses for which the Acquired Companies would be liable thereunder would be paid from the Escrow Funds (assuming that the Buyer Indemnitees would be entitled to indemnification therefor pursuant to this Article IX and after giving effect to the Deductible), in which case the Sellers may elect, in their sole discretion, by written notice to the Buyer, to assume and control the defense of such Specified Lawsuit (whereupon the provisions set forth in Section 9.6(b) which govern a Third Party Proceeding already assumed and controlled by the Indemnifying Party would apply (including the provisions therein governing settlement of a Third Party Proceeding)), and (ii) the Sellers and the Buyer shall consult with each other regarding any material decisions to be made in connection with the defense of each Specified Lawsuit.

(b)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, (i) no Buyer Indemnitee shall be entitled to reimbursement or indemnification from Sellers with respect to any inaccuracies in or breaches of the representations and warranties made by Sellers (or either of them) hereunder unless (x) the Loss related to each individual claim or series of related claims exceeds Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000), and (y) the aggregate amount of such Losses suffered or incurred by all Buyer Indemnitees (after giving effect to the limitation in clause (x) above) exceeds an amount equal to Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) (the “Deductible”), and then only for the amount by which such Losses exceed the Deductible, and (ii) in no event shall Sellers’ aggregate liability under Section 9.2(a) exceed Thirty Five Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($35,500,000).  For avoidance of doubt, the Deductible shall not apply to claims for indemnification by the Buyer Indemnitees (or any of them) with respect to breaches of the covenants or agreements of the Sellers set forth in this Agreement.

Section 9.3            Indemnification by Buyer.  From and after the Closing Date, to the extent provided in this Article IX, Buyer shall indemnify, and shall cause the Acquired Companies to indemnify, jointly and severally, Sellers and their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees and agents  (“Seller Indemnitees”) against and hold them harmless from any Losses suffered or incurred by such Seller Indemnitees to the extent arising from (i) any breach of any representation or warranty of Buyer contained in this Agreement, (ii) any breach of any covenant or undertaking of Buyer contained in this Agreement, (iii) all Post-Closing Taxes, (iv) except with respect to any matter for which Buyer is indemnified under Section 9.2, the operation of the Acquired Companies and its Business from and after the Closing Date, (v) subject to Section 3.18, the WARN Act (or any similar foreign, state or local Law), to the extent any mass layoff or termination, as defined by the WARN Act, is commenced or otherwise initiated after the Closing and authorized by Buyer; provided said indemnification obligation does not inure directly to the benefit of any individual or group of employees, officers, or agents of the Acquired Companies, or (vi) subject to Section 3.18, any claims for severance or other termination benefits asserted against Sellers or their Affiliates by any employee of any Acquired Company who is terminated from and after the Closing, except for such terminations that were commenced or otherwise initiated prior to the Closing by written notice of termination given to the employee (whether subject to the expiration of a notice period or otherwise); provided, that, for avoidance of doubt,

56

any claims for severance by any such employees shall, as between the Acquired Companies, Buyer and their Affiliates, on the one hand, and such employees, on the other hand, be governed by the applicable severance agreements or policies of Buyer in effect at the time of termination.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller Indemnitees shall not be entitled to indemnification for (A) those portions of any Losses that represent lost profits, diminution in value, restitution, mental or emotional distress, exemplary, consequential, incidental, special or punitive damages except to the extent that any of the same are paid by a Seller Indemnitee to a third party in connection with a claim asserted by such third party; or (B) those portions of any Losses (i) that are reimbursed from insurance proceeds actually received and retained, or (ii) that have arisen as a result of any act or omission by any Seller or any of its Affiliates on or after the Closing Date.

Section 9.4            Single Recovery.  Any liability for indemnification under this Article IX shall be determined without duplication of recovery by reason of the set of facts giving rise to such liability constituting a breach of more than one representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking, or one or more rights to indemnification, including any matter for which any reserve or accrual has been established in the Financial Statements or in the books and records of the Acquired Companies in accordance with GAAP.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, in the event that any fact, event or circumstance which results in an adjustment to the purchase price pursuant to Section 2.6 hereof would also constitute a breach or inaccuracy of any of a Party’s representations, warranties, covenants or agreements under this Agreement or otherwise result in a Loss to the other Party, such Party shall have no obligation to indemnify any Indemnified Party, as applicable, with respect to such breach or inaccuracy to the extent that (i) recovery for any such Loss would constitute a duplicative payment of amounts recovered as a purchase price adjustment pursuant to Section 2.6, or (ii) such Loss was reflected as a liability on the Closing Balance Sheet.

Section 9.5            Exclusive Remedy.  Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.6 (Purchase Price Adjustment), Section 2.8 (GLS Related Payments), or Section 11.17 (Specific Performance), Parent, Buyer and Sellers each acknowledge and agree, for themselves and on behalf of their respective Affiliates, that, from and after the Closing, the sole and exclusive remedy for any and all claims relating to breaches of representations, warranties, covenants and undertakings contained in this Agreement shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this Article IX.  In furtherance of the foregoing, Parent, Buyer and Sellers hereby waive, for themselves and on behalf of their respective Affiliates, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, any and all rights of rescission with respect to the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions.

Section 9.6            Indemnification Procedures.

(a)           If a Buyer Indemnitee or Seller Indemnitee seeks to make a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 9.2 or 9.3 (other than in respect of a third party claim, action or proceeding referred to in Section 9.6(b)) (the “Indemnified Party”), the Indemnified Party shall provide written notice of such claim to the Party or Parties from whom such indemnification is sought with respect thereto (collectively, an “Indemnifying Party”), setting forth the nature of the claim and the basis for indemnification hereunder (to the extent known to the Indemnified Party).

(b)           If, following the Closing, any claim is asserted or action or proceeding commenced or threatened by a third party against an Indemnified Party that would reasonably be expected to give rise to a claim for indemnification by such Indemnified Party against the Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 9.2 or 9.3 (each, a “Third-Party Proceeding”), the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of such asserted, commenced or threatened Third-Party Proceeding and the basis for indemnification thereunder (to the extent known to the Indemnified Party).  The failure to provide such notice as provided herein will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations hereunder except to the extent such failure adversely prejudices in any significant respect the Indemnifying Party hereunder.  The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such Third-Party Proceeding giving rise such claim for indemnification at such Indemnifying Party’s sole cost and expense, and, at its option (and its sole cost and expense), shall be entitled to assume and control the defense thereof by appointing a reputable counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party to be the lead counsel in connection with such defense, and shall diligently and in good faith prosecute such Third-Party Proceeding to a final conclusion or settlement (subject to the applicable limitations on settlement set forth in this Section 9.6).  As soon as reasonably practicable (but no later than ten (10) Business Days after the Indemnifying Party’s receipt of notice from the Indemnified Party of such asserted, commenced or threatened Proceeding), the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified Party whether the Indemnifying Party desires, at its sole cost and expense, to participate in, or, at its election, assume and control, the defense of such Third-Party Proceeding.  The Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such Third-Party Proceeding (but shall not be entitled to control such defense, if the Indemnifying Party has timely notified the Indemnified Party of its election to assume and control such defense) and to employ separate counsel of its choice for such purpose; provided, however, that the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be borne by the Indemnified Party, unless, in the Indemnified Party’s good faith judgment, it is advisable, based on the advice of counsel, for the Indemnified Party to be represented by separate counsel because of a conflict or potential conflict between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, in which case the Indemnified Party may employ separate counsel, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, to participate in such defense with respect to such matters as to which such conflict exists.  If the Indemnifying Party shall assume and control the defense of any such Third-Party Proceeding in accordance with this Section 9.6(b), the Indemnified Party agrees to provide reasonable cooperation to (and, during normal business hours and upon reasonable prior notice, to provide access to all relevant documents and records and to make all relevant personnel available to) the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in the defense of such Third-Party Proceeding.  If the Indemnifying Party shall not assume and control the defense of such Third-Party Proceeding in accordance with this Section 9.6(b), (i) the Indemnified Party will not consent to the entry of any judgment, or enter into any settlement, compromise or discharge, with respect to such Third-Party Proceeding without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld or delayed, and (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable under this Article IX for any judgment, settlement, compromise or discharge of such Third-Party Proceeding made by the Indemnified Party not made in accordance with clause (i) above.  If the Indemnifying Party shall assume and control the defense of any such Third-Party Proceeding in accordance with this Section 9.6(b), the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled, in its sole discretion, to consent to the entry of any judgment, or enter into any settlement, compromise or discharge, with respect to such Third-Party Proceeding; provided however, that the Indemnifying

58

Party shall obtain the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, before approving any judgment with respect to such Third-Party Proceeding, or entering into any settlement, compromise or discharge of such Third-Party Proceeding, if (i) pursuant to, or as a result of, such judgment, settlement or compromise, injunctive or other equitable relief will be imposed against the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates, (ii) such judgment, settlement or compromise does not include an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liabilities with respect to such Third-Party Proceeding (other than solely with respect to the Deductible (to the extent such liabilities would constitute Losses to which the Deductible would be applicable in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 9.2 or Section 9.3) in which case the amount thereof shall be deemed applied to the satisfaction of such Deductible), (iii) such judgment, settlement, compromise or discharge contains or involves (x) an admission or statement providing for or acknowledging any criminal wrongdoing or liability on behalf of the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates or (y) the debarment or suspension by a Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction of the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates from being awarded future Government Contracts, or (iv) if the Indemnifying Party consists of one or both of the Sellers, the then-remaining Escrow Funds shall be insufficient to satisfy any liabilities resulting from such judgment, settlement, compromise or discharge (unless the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing to be responsible for satisfying any such liabilities, to the extent the then-remaining Escrow Funds shall be insufficient for such purpose).

(c)           Adjustments for Insurance and Taxes.  Each Loss which an Indemnifying Party is required to pay pursuant to this Article IX shall be reduced (i) by any amounts actually recovered and retained by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party under applicable insurance policies or from any other Person alleged to be responsible for such Loss (it being understood that each Indemnified Party shall be required to use its Best Efforts to pursue all available insurance recoveries in connection with any indemnification claim hereunder), and (ii) to take account of any reduction of net Taxes actually realized by the Indemnified Party as a direct result of such Loss (determined after properly taking into account the actual and reasonably anticipated effect on (including increase of) Taxes (including future Taxes) of the Indemnified Party or any Affiliate thereof as a result of any indemnification amount paid or payable for such Loss under this Article IX). If the Indemnified Party receives any amounts under applicable insurance policies or from any other Person alleged to be responsible for any Loss or obtains any reduction of net Taxes, in each case, subsequent to an indemnification payment by the Indemnifying Party, then such Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for any payment made or expense incurred by such Indemnifying Party in connection with providing such indemnification payment up to the amount received by the Indemnified Party, net of any expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in collecting such amount.

(d)           Recovery for Claims for Indemnification.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, from and after the Closing, the aggregate liability of Sellers in respect of all claims for indemnification of the Buyer Indemnitees, or any of them, and the aggregate amount of Losses indemnifiable under this Agreement in respect thereof, at any time shall in no event exceed the Escrow Funds then remaining in the Escrow Account and all claims for indemnification by the Buyer Indemnitees, or any of them, pursuant to this Article IX shall be asserted solely against the Escrow Funds then remaining in the Escrow Amount pursuant to the Escrow Agreement and such Escrow Funds shall be the sole and exclusive source of recovery for

59

the Buyer Indemnitees, or any of them, for any amounts owing to them pursuant to this Article IX.  Upon the Final Determination of any amount of Losses to which any Buyer Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article IX, Buyer and Sellers shall execute joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to disburse such amount from the then-remaining Escrow Funds in the Escrow Amount in accordance with the separate written payment instructions of the Buyer Indemnitee.

(e)           Mitigation.  Each Indemnified Party shall use its Best Efforts to mitigate any claim or liability that an Indemnified Party asserts or may assert under this Article IX.  In the event that an Indemnified Party shall fail to use its Best Efforts to mitigate any such claim or liability, then notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, neither Sellers nor Buyer, as the case may be, shall be required to indemnify any Indemnified Party for that portion of any Losses that would reasonably be expected to have been avoided if the Indemnified Party had used such Best Efforts.

(f)            Subrogation.  Upon making any payment to an Indemnified Party for any indemnification claim pursuant to this Article IX, the Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated, to the extent of such payment, to any rights which the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates may have against any other persons with respect to the subject matter underlying such indemnification claim, and the Indemnified Party shall take such actions as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably require to perfect such subrogation or to pursue such rights against such other persons as the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates may have.

(g)           Treatment of Indemnity Claims.  Any indemnification payment made by a Party pursuant to this Article IX shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price hereunder and no party shall take any position inconsistent with such characterization.

ARTICLE X

TERMINATION; EFFECT OF TERMINATION

(a)           by the mutual written agreement of Sellers and Buyer;

(b)           by Buyer if the Closing has not occurred on or prior to the Outside Date, provided that Buyer is not at the time of such election to terminate in breach in any material respect of any of its obligations hereunder;

(c)           by Sellers if the Closing has not occurred on or prior to the Outside Date, provided that Sellers are not at the time of such election to terminate in breach in any material respect of any of their obligations hereunder;

(d)           by Sellers if there has been a breach by Buyer of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement, including, but not limited to, those provisions relating to any financing of the purchase of the Shares, which breach shall have had or

60

is reasonably like to have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect upon Buyer’s or Parent’s ability to consummate the Contemplated Transactions (and in each case such breach is not reasonably capable of being cured or such condition is not reasonably capable of being satisfied within five (5) Business Days after the receipt of notice thereof from Sellers, it being understood and agreed that this Agreement may not be terminated pursuant to this Section 10.1(d) during such five Business Day Period or following such five Business Day period if such breach is cured during such five Business Day period);

(e)           by Sellers or Buyer if there shall be in effect a final non-appealable Order of a Governmental Authority of competent jurisdiction restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions; it being agreed that the Parties hereto shall promptly appeal any adverse determination which is appealable (and pursue such appeal with reasonable diligence); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 10.1(e) shall not be available to a Party if such Order was primarily due to the failure of such Party or Parties to perform any of its or their obligations under this Agreement; or

(f)            by Sellers or Buyer if any event shall occur after the date hereof that shall have made it impossible to satisfy a condition precedent to the obligations of the terminating Party or Parties to perform its or their obligations hereunder, unless the occurrence of such event shall be due to the failure of the terminating Party or Parties to perform or comply with any of the agreements, covenants or conditions hereof to be performed or complied with by such Party or Parties prior to the Closing.

Section 10.2          Procedure and Effect of Termination.  In the event of the termination and abandonment of this Agreement by Sellers or Buyer pursuant to Section 10.1 hereof, written notice thereof shall forthwith be given to the other Party.  If this Agreement is terminated and the Contemplated Transactions are abandoned as provided herein:

(a)           Each Party will redeliver all documents, work papers and other material of any other Party relating to the Contemplated Transactions, whether so obtained before or after the execution hereof, to the Party furnishing the same; provided that each Party may retain one copy of all such documents for archival purposes in the custody of its outside or in-house counsel;

(b)           All confidential information received by any Party hereto with respect to the business of any other Party or its Affiliates shall be treated in accordance with the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement entered into between the Company and Parent, which shall survive the termination of this Agreement; and

(c)           All filings, applications and other submission made to any Person, including any Governmental  Authority, in connection with the Contemplated Transactions shall, to the extent practicable, be withdrawn from such Person.

Section 10.3          Effect of Termination.  If this Agreement is terminated and the Contemplated Transactions are abandoned in accordance with Section 10.1, this Agreement shall become void and of no further force and effect (other than Section 6.1, Section 7.3, Section 10.2, this Section 10.3, and Article XI, each of which shall survive the termination of this Agreement

61

and be enforceable by the Parties), and there shall be no liability or obligation on the part of any Party to any other Party, except for breaches of this Agreement prior to the time of such termination and, in the case of Buyer, any failure of Buyer or Parent to have sufficient immediately available funds for the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions.  Nothing in this Article X shall be deemed to impair the right of any Party to compel specific performance by another Party of its obligations under this Agreement.

Section 11.2          Amendments and Modifications.  Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or modified only by a written instrument signed by all of the Parties hereto.

62

Section 11.3          Waiver.  No waiver hereunder shall be valid or binding unless set forth in writing and duly executed by the Party against whom enforcement of the waiver is sought.  Any such waiver shall constitute a waiver only with respect to the specific matter described in such writing and shall in no way impair the rights of the Party granting such waiver in any other respect or at any other time.  Neither the waiver by any of the Parties of a breach of or a default under any of the provisions of this Agreement, nor the failure by any of the Parties, on one or more occasions, to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement or to exercise any right or privilege hereunder, shall be construed as a waiver of any other breach or default of a similar nature, or as a waiver of any of such provisions, rights or privileges hereunder.

Section 11.4          Expenses.  Except as otherwise provided herein, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation and execution of this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, including any advisor fees and expenses, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated (a) by Veritas, Sellers or any of their respective Affiliates (including, for costs incurred prior to the Closing, the Acquired Companies) shall be paid by Sellers, and (b) by Parent, Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates (including, for costs incurred following the Closing, the Acquired Companies) shall be paid by Buyer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall be responsible for paying the filing fee required to be paid by the Sellers or any of their Affiliates under the HSR Act or any other Antitrust Law, but not the other costs and expenses of the Sellers and their Affiliates related thereto.

Section 11.5          Assignment.  Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned by any Party hereto (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other Party.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall have the right to assign all or certain provisions of this Agreement, or any interest herein, and may delegate any duty or obligation hereunder, without the consent of Sellers, (i) to any Affiliate of Buyer (unless to do so would restrict or delay the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby), (ii) at any time after the Closing, to any purchaser of any or all of the assets or equity interests (whether by merger, recapitalization, reorganization or otherwise) of Buyer or (iii) to any of Buyer’s financing sources for the Contemplated Transactions, as collateral; provided that, in the case of each of clauses (i) through (iii), no such assignment or delegation shall relieve Buyer of any of its obligations hereunder.

Section 11.6          Parties in Interest.  This Agreement will be binding upon, inure solely to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Parties and their respective permitted successors and assigns.

Section 11.7          Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed, performed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York (without giving effect to its principles or rules of conflict of laws to the extent such principles or rules would require or permit the application of the laws of another jurisdiction) as to all matters, including, but not limited to, matters of validity, construction, effect, performance and remedies.

63

Section 11.8          Jurisdiction.

(a)           Each of the Parties irrevocably agrees that any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement and the rights and obligations arising hereunder (other than with respect to any dispute arising under Section 2.6, which shall be governed by the procedure specified therein), or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect of this Agreement and the rights and obligations arising hereunder brought by the other Party hereto or its successors or assigns, shall be brought and determined exclusively in the courts of the State of New York located in the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York, State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.  Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably submits with regard to any such action or proceeding for itself and in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, to the personal jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts and agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in any court other than the aforesaid courts.

(b)           Subject to the provisions of Section 2.6 (which shall govern any dispute arising thereunder), each of the Parties hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement, (a) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above named courts for any reason other than the failure to serve in accordance with Section 11.1, (b) any claim that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (c) to the fullest extent permitted by the applicable Law, any claim that (i) the suit, action or proceeding in such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (ii) the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper or (iii) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts.

Section 11.9          Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a)           EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY OR CLAIM WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE IT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.  THIS WAIVER MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING (OTHER THAN BY A MUTUAL WRITTEN WAIVER SPECIFICALLY REFERRING TO THIS SECTION 11.9(A) AND EXECUTED BY EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO).  THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER AGREEMENTS OR DOCUMENTS RELATING TO THE CONTEMPLATED TRANSACTIONS.  The scope of this waiver is intended to be all-encompassing of any and all disputes that may be filed in any court and that relate to the subject matter of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including contract claims, tort claims, breach of duty claims and all other common law and statutory claims.  In the event of litigation, this Agreement may be filed as a written consent to a trial by the court.

64

(b)           EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (I) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE EITHER OF SUCH WAIVERS, (II) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF SUCH WAIVERS,  (III) IT MAKES SUCH WAIVERS VOLUNTARILY, AND (iv) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 11.9.

Section 11.10       Relationship of the Parties. The Parties agree that this is an arm’s length transaction in which the Parties’ undertakings and obligations are limited to the performance of their obligations under this Agreement.  Each of Parent and Buyer acknowledges that it is a sophisticated investor and that it has only a contractual relationship with Sellers, based solely on the terms of this Agreement, and that there is no special relationship of trust or reliance between either Seller, on the one hand, and Parent or Buyer, on the other hand.

Section 11.11       Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument.  In the event that any signature to this Agreement is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a portable document format (.pdf or similar format) data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the Party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.  This Agreement shall become effective when each Party hereto shall have received a counterpart hereof signed by all of the other Parties hereto.  Until and unless each Party has received a counterpart hereof signed by the other Party hereto, this Agreement shall have no effect and no Party shall have any right or obligation hereunder (whether by virtue of any other oral or written agreement or other communication).

Section 11.12       Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as otherwise provided herein with respect to the Seller Indemnitees, the Buyer Indemnitees, and the Covered Persons, the representations, warranties and agreements of the Parties contained herein are intended solely for the benefit of the Party to whom such representations, warranties or agreements are made, shall confer no rights hereunder, whether legal or equitable, in any other Person, and no other Person shall be entitled to rely thereon.

Section 11.13       Entire Agreement.  This Agreement (including the other Transaction Documents and the other documents and instruments referred to herein and therein), the Confidentiality Agreement entered into by Parent and the Company and the schedules attached hereto sets forth the entire agreement and understanding of the Parties in respect of the Contemplated Transactions and supersedes all prior discussions, negotiations, agreements, arrangements and understandings, whether oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof. There are no warranties, representations or other agreements between the Parties in connection with the subject matter of this Agreement, except as specifically set forth in this Agreement.

65

Section 11.14       Severability.  If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party.  Upon such a determination, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Section 11.15       Specific Performance.  Each of the Sellers, Parent and Buyer acknowledges and agrees that irreparable injury to the other Party or Parties may occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement was not performed in accordance with its specific terms or was otherwise breached and that such injury would not be adequately compensable in damages because of the difficulty of ascertaining the amount of damages that will be suffered in the event that this Agreement was breached.  It is accordingly agreed that Sellers, Parent, and Buyer shall each be entitled, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity, to specific enforcement of, and injunctive relief, without proof of actual damages, to prevent any violation of, the terms hereof, and the other Party or Parties will not take action, directly or indirectly, in opposition to the Party or Parties seeking such relief on the grounds that any other remedy or relief is available at law or in equity.  Any requirements for the securing or posting of any bond with such remedy are hereby waived.

Section 11.16       Representation by Counsel.  Each Party hereto acknowledges that it has been represented by independent legal counsel of its own choice throughout all of the negotiations that preceded the execution of this Agreement.  Each Party further acknowledges that it and its counsel have had adequate opportunity to make whatever investigation or inquiry they may deem necessary or desirable in connection with the subject matter of this Agreement prior to the execution hereof.

Section 11.17       Rules of Construction, etc.  The Parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement.  In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any Party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement.  Each Schedule which is a part of the Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed to incorporate by reference all information disclosed in any other Schedule which is a part of the Disclosure Schedule to the extent that it is reasonably apparent that such disclosure applies to such other Schedule.  The disclosure of any matter on any Schedule hereto shall not be deemed to constitute an admission or indication by Parent, Buyer, Veritas, or a Seller, or to otherwise imply, that any such matter is material for the purposes of this Agreement.  Nor shall any disclosure on a Schedule be deemed to constitute an acknowledgment that any such matter is required to be disclosed.  No disclosure on any Schedule relating to a possible breach or violation of any Contract or Law shall be construed as an admission or indication that breach or violation exists or has actually occurred.  The disclosure of any matter in any Schedule hereto is not to be treated as constituting or implying any representation, warranty, assurance or undertaking by a Seller not expressly set out in the Agreement, nor to be

66

treated as adding to or extending the scope of any of the representations or warranties of a Seller in the Agreement.

Section 11.18       Headings.  Headings of the Articles and Sections of this Agreement, and the Table of Contents are for convenience of the Parties only, and shall be given no substantive or interpretative effect whatsoever.

Section 11.19       Non-Recourse.  No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, agent, attorney or representative of the Acquired Companies, Sellers, Parent or Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates shall have be deemed to (i) have made any representations or warranties in connection with the Contemplated Transactions, or (ii) have any personal liability to Parent, Buyer or a Seller, as the case may be, for any obligations or liabilities of a Seller, or Parent or Buyer, as the case may be, under this Agreement for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the Contemplated Transactions. It is further understood that any certificate or certification contemplated by this Agreement and executed by an officer or other representative of a Party shall be deemed to have been delivered only in such officer’s or representative’s capacity as an officer or representative, as applicable, of such Party (and not in his or her individual capacity) and shall not entitle any Party to assert a claim against such officer or representative in his or her individual capacity.

Section 11.20       No Set-Off.  The obligation of Buyer to pay to Sellers the Purchase Price and any other payments hereunder, or under any agreements entered into in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, shall not be subject to any right of set-off against any of Sellers’ respective obligations whatsoever, and each of Parent and Buyer hereby irrevocably waives any and all such rights.

Section 11.21       Inconsistencies with Other Agreements.  In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions in the body of this Agreement and those in the other Transaction Documents referred to herein, the provisions in the body of this Agreement will prevail and govern.

Section 11.22       Obligations of Sellers and Buyer. Whenever this Agreement requires an Acquired Company which is a Subsidiary of a Seller to take any action, that requirement shall be deemed to include an undertaking on the part of such Seller to cause that Acquired Company to take that action.  Whenever this Agreement requires a Subsidiary of Parent or Buyer to take any action, that requirement shall be deemed to include an undertaking on the part of Parent or Buyer to cause that Subsidiary of Parent or Buyer, as the case may be, to take that action.
